Senior William ‘Trey’ Greene Named Region 2 PAGE STAR Student

On March 7, Tallulah Falls School Senior William ‘Trey’ Greene of Demorest was named the Region 2 Professional Association of Georgia Educators (PAGE) Student-Teacher Achievement Recognition (STAR) Student at the Region 2 STAR Student/STAR Teacher Banquet held at the University of North Georgia Dahlonega Campus. Out of 14 total students representing their local districts in Region 2, Greene scored the highest on the SAT with an impressive score of 1590, a feat achieved by fewer than one percent of students taking the SAT this year. Greene was named Habersham County’s STAR Student in February and recognized by the Habersham Chamber of Commerce, the local STAR Program sponsor.

According to the PAGE website, Greene is only the third student from Habersham County to win the region title since the program’s inception in 1958.

Greene selected Adam Greiving, TFS College History teacher, as his STAR teacher, and both were recognized at the banquet.

Tallulah Falls School President and Head of School Larry A. Peevy expressed his pride and admiration for Greene’s accomplishments, saying, “We are thrilled to see Trey’s hard work and dedication recognized through this prestigious honor. His academic achievements are a testament to his exceptional ability and tireless effort, and we could not be more proud of him and his accomplishments. We wish him the best of luck as he travels to Duluth, Georgia, on April 24 to compete in the state competition.”

While region winners are based solely on SAT scores, a panel of judges selects the State PAGE STAR Student from the STAR region winners. The panel includes representatives from higher education, secondary education, education-at-large and the business sector. Each Region STAR Student submits written comprehensive biographical information to the judges. In addition, a statement from each Region STAR Teacher is provided in support of their STAR Student. The judges interview the Region STAR Students and consider the following areas: scholarship, extracurricular activities, academic ability, personal philosophy, leadership, initiative, citizenship, opinions, personal objectives, and attitude.
